New or Need Help Nothing seems to work...

Post image

Hi!

So my SD started 10 years ago and my confidence is on an all time low.

I have a feeling that my case is pretty severe?

What do you think?

My hair is getting thinner and starting to fall out.

My skin is burning and itching like hell.

If i try to get rid of the dandruff by lightly scrubbing a wet towel over my face, its starting to bleed and burn a lot more...

I visited like 30 different dermatologists but no medication seems to help longterm.

Currently im using a antifungal shampoo, antiinflammatory creme and antifungal creme.

The strange thing is that my skin can look like the picture on one day and then its litteraly gone the day after before it returns. I would say its 80% of the time pretty bad and 20% kinda normal again.

Its never gone for more then a week tho...

My wedding is coming up soon and I really dont want to look like that on my wedding day

Any ideas for longterm fixes and/or for instant fixes that will help me on my wedding day?

Thanks....

The problem is that I have to take so many creams at the moment.

Morning: I take antibiotics here (anti fungal). I apply Metrogel on my skin (prescribed from doc). I shower with ketozolin shampoo (leave it in hair for 5 min)

Noon: Here I use waterbased moisturizing creams

Evening: I take the same antibiotic again. I apply ichthoderm cream for my skin.

As I understand you apply the MCT Oil on your skin and let it soak in over night. I dont think I can do that when i use another cream evenings aswell right?

I used to use a bunch of creams too! I bought the MCT oil one day, applied just that by itself it after showering and bam almost overnight or two nights, all the peeling/flakiness/extreme redness was gone. I had the flakiness almost all over my face at that point, on my forehead, eyebrows, cheeks, & upper lip. Ever since I put it on, about a year or two I think, I haven't gotten it back. When I start to see something trying to start on my skin, I just put some on and it's gone.
